-Tech-Fest favourites From Her Ashes [9/10] were due to play the fifth anniversary of Rabidfest last year but were forced to pull out at the 11th hour. Making up for lost time the Derby Tech-Metal DJentlemen roar through cuts like “The Swan and the Serpent” and “Nemesis” like they have itchy trigger fingers and there is no tomorrow. Fiercely combining brutality and melody they punch like a prize fighter, rolling back the years as they remind us just how good they are. - Metalnoise.net - 26th November 2024
-The power From Her Ashes are able to generate is phenomenal and there is no doubt that their focus on quality over quantity with meaningful reflections and thought provoking lyrical narratives has served them well. Long live the Kings - DJ Vapour
-The vocalist in particular presented himself with a natural swagger in his performance that just made everything he was doing look so easy, when what he delivered was a wide range of screams that definitely would not be easy to those uninitiated, his voice was tremendous. This performance was, for me, probably the standout performance on the 2nd stage all weekend and after the show, I was happy to learn that From Her Ashes will be back in Nottingham very very soon, a show which I will definitely be attending. - Alex Stuart, Rockflesh 2022
